DOING BETTER

Back in August I posted about a piece of 'art' that has been installed at the end of my road. It was quickly vandalized, then repaired, but the light strips on/in it don't seem to be working, and it is starting to look rather stained by all the dog pee it is receiving - it must be an irresistible marking post to the discerning canine.

But not all is lost for public art in Poole. There are some much better and interesting pieces being installed.

I was passing the RNLI headquarters earlier today and paused to snap the new sculpture installed there, which I think is really rather good.



I keep thinking about volunteering for the RNLI as a crew member, but am not sure it would work with my other responsibilities. The Poole crew get called out very regularly, and inevitably the call would come just as I was getting up to preach on a Sunday, or taking the kids to school. So I'll just to have to admire the crew, and the sculpture, from a distance.
